Located in the heart of North Oxford, this well-established veterinary practice is led by two highly experienced partners who combine strong clinical knowledge with a supportive and approachable leadership style. The team is close-knit and collaborative, with a shared commitment to delivering excellent patient care in a positive working environment.
This full-time position covers 40 hours per week across four days. The role includes participation in a shared weekend rota—typically one in three or one in six full weekends—based at the local 24-hour hospital.

The role is supported by a comprehensive benefits package designed to prioritise wellbeing, professional development, and long-term career growth. This includes private medical insurance and a health cash plan alongside 24/7 counselling and wellbeing support, and life assurance at three times salary. Annual leave starts at five weeks plus bank holidays and increases with service.
Professional development is actively encouraged, with a £1,500 CPD allowance and three days of paid CPD leave each year. There is access to clinical communities, internal training, and 24-hour hospital resources, as well as funded certificates and structured career pathways. Additional support includes payment of RCVS, VDS, and BVA fees, with relocation assistance and visa sponsorship available where required. Sabbatical opportunities are also offered, depending on length of service.
